Re: Tetanus injections...know anything?
Tetanus is a really nasty one. My uncle had tetanus (many years ago) and he was very lucky to survive. They ground his teeth down so that they could feed him through the gap. I was just reading that 67% of people who get tetanus require intubation and the treatment involves vaccination, injection of anti-toxin wound debridement and excision around the wound with a 2cm margin. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm a med student so this is where my interes lies. I guess if you really don't want to vax then you could just watch and wait following a deep cut. The signs to look out for following would be muscle spasms, trouble breathing or swollowing. If any of these occurred then you would need to rush him to the ED.
I really hope that doesn't sound too gloom and doom.
